Excerpt from Clinton: Or, Boy-Life in the Country
The Amwnu, stories are designed to portray some of the leading phases of juvenile character, and to point out their tendencies to future good and evil. This they' undertake to do, by describing the quiet, natural scenes and incidents of every-day life, in city and country, at home and abroad, at school and upon the play-ground, rather than by resorting to romantic adventures and startling effects. While their main object is to persuade the young to lay well the foundations of their characters, to win them to the ways of virtue, and to incite them to good deeds and noble aims, the attempt is also made to mingle amusing, curious and useful information with the moral lessons conveyed. It is hoped that the volumes will thus be made attractive and agreeable, as well as in structive, to the youthful reader.
